Junpei and Morita are collaborating to both direct and write the script for the series, while Tomonori Fukuda handles the original character designs. Deho Gallery is in charge of the background art, while Barnstorm Design Labo takes care of the design works.
The opening theme, titled "Utaeba Soko ni Kimi ga Iru Kara (If I Sing, You Will Be There)," will be performed by Suzuki.
The series tells the story of an energetic girl named Rin, who loves to eat and resides in a verdant frontier village. In contrast to her, the songstress Finis, who lives deep within the royal palace in the capital city, spends each day in solitude. They both share a miraculous power of song that allows them to heal wounds, create water, and also stir the wind. Destiny will bring them together to take on an arduous journey in the midst of a war that will taint even their miraculous healing songs with the blood of the innocents.
Can Rin and Finis work together to bring hope to a kingdom that is about to be embroiled in chaos and war?
"Lost Song" premieres sometime in April on TV Aichi, BS Fuji, Sun TV, and KBS Kyoto. Information on the official broadcast schedules and other online resources will be available on the series' official site at a later date.
